Yan never expected that Hu Liena would say such things about him for Tang San's sake. It seemed that she was willing to break with him in order to protect him. Feeling wronged, resentful, angry, painful, and jealous, all sorts of emotions surged in his heart.
But facing Hu Liena, he couldn't bring himself to lash out. He could only say in disbelief, " Nana, are you really going to disregard our years of friendship for this man?"
"It's because you don't value our years of friendship, Yan!" Hu Liena said. "You're all my friends, Yan, don't make me sad!"
Yan's gaze swept past Hu Liena, glared fiercely at Tang San, then roared in resentment and turned to walk towards the camp.
Then, Tang San acted as if he shouldn't have come and disturbed them, but Hu Liena Tang San him to stay.
Qi Ling, watching all this from a distance, couldn't help but laugh. It seemed that everything was in place. Xiao San had successfully infiltrated the enemy's group, and she only needed to wait for him to gather information.
Speaking of which, Yan is really unlucky. Since ancient times, childhood sweethearts can't beat those who fall from the sky. This guy's loss is not a loss at all! Besides, no matter how you look at it, the Xiao San is better than him.
Although Tang San did take advantage of Hu Liena's feelings, it was out of necessity. Fortunately, they do have feelings for each other now. As for how Xiao San should apologize to Hu Liena in the future, that's not Qi Ling's business.
Abusing your wife may feel good for a while, but winning her back will be a nightmare! Xiao San, consider this a test in your life.
After the Spirit Hall members settled down, Qi Ling immediately began to head deeper into the forest. They were not far from the central area of Star Dou Great Forest and would arrive soon.
Now that Tang San had calmed down the Spirit Hall members, Qi Ling decided to go find Xiao Wu ahead of time so that Da Ming and Er Ming could be prepared.
Having not seen Xiao Wu for five years, Qi Ling was filled with an impatient longing. Driven by this desire, he even used Lightning Flash and Flint Spark to travel, all in order to see Xiao Wu as soon as possible.
The Soul Beast in the forest felt as if a bolt of lightning had flashed through the trees and then appeared in the distance. Qi Ling's speed was so fast that it almost created a blur, reaching an incredible speed.
Even at this pace, an hour had passed by the time Qi Ling approached the lake from her memory. Based on this calculation, even if everyone from the Spirit Hall rushed there at full speed tomorrow, it would still take at least three hours to arrive.
Slowly making his way through the forest, Qi Ling made no attempt to conceal his presence, for he had already sensed the two incredibly powerful auras looming ahead. He didn't want his sudden appearance to cause any misunderstandings or lead to any accidents.
When Qi Ling emerged from the forest and arrived at the lakeside, she was greeted by a truly awe-inspiring sight: an extremely tall figure crouched there silently, as imposing as a mountain. Its dark fur shimmered slightly in the moonlight, but most of its body remained hidden in the darkness.
Although it was on all fours at this moment, its shoulder height was already over seven meters. If it were to stand upright, its height would probably be over fifteen meters. An overwhelming sense of oppression swept over Qi Ling, making him tremble involuntarily.
Even now, Qi Ling has to admit that the oppressive aura emanating from the King of the Forest, the Titan Giant Ape, is absolutely first-rate, even surpassing that of the 100,000-year-old Dragon Clan he encountered.
Its very existence is synonymous with power; its granite-like muscles covering its entire body contain astonishing strength, and its whole body is a symbol of power and beauty.
Although it is only Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, its strength far surpasses that of ordinary Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. This is the inherent racial advantage of the Titan Giant Ape Soul Beast.
"Yo! Er Ming, long time no see! Do you remember me?" Qi Ling greeted the Titan Giant Ape with a smile, "I'm Qi Ling, Xiao Wu's brother."
Upon hearing Qi Ling's voice, the Titan Giant Ape slowly opened its eyes, looked down at Qi Ling, and then spoke in a deep, thunderous voice. " Qi Ling, what are you doing here now!"
"I've come to pick up Xiao Wu!" Qi Ling said. "I haven't seen her for so long, I've come to take her home. Many of her friends miss her very much."
"Hmph! Five years ago, you didn't have enough power to protect Sister Xiao Wu, so you let her return to cultivate alone! Five years later, do you have enough power?" The Titan Giant Ape didn't respond to Qi Ling's words, but continued to ask him.
"Five years ago, the reason I allowed Xiao Wu to return was because I knew you were here, and you could protect her well until we all had enough power," Qi Ling said. "Now I'm coming to find Xiao Wu, of course, because I now have enough power to protect her!"
"Hmph, empty words are meaningless. Why should I believe you? Do you have enough power now?" the Titan Giant Ape said disbelievingly.
"Then how do you want me to prove it?" Qi Ling asked.
"It's simple. You punched me before, and now I'm going to punch you back!" Titan Giant Ape said, giving Qi Ling no chance to refuse, and threw a punch at him directly.
Qi Ling never expected that this black-haired gorilla would hold such a grudge. She had punched him back then, and he still remembered it and was determined to get revenge!
The key point is that he used his level three Soul Power as a price and didn't even hurt a hair on its head. But now, looking at its punch that was accompanied by wind and thunder, Qi Ling felt that it was obviously taking revenge. If it were hit by that punch, it would break several bones!
"Damn it, trying to trick me? No way, I'm outta here!" Qi Ling thought to himself, intending to dodge the Titan Giant Ape's punch. But to his surprise, his body couldn't dodge; a strange force held him back.
He instantly realized that this must be the unique power possessed by the Titan Giant Ape —the power of its Gravity Domain! As long as it was within the domain, the Titan Giant Ape could control the gravity there, making it lighter or heavier with ease.
The sudden increase in gravity forced Qi Ling to face the punch head-on. In the rush, he didn't even have time to summon his Martial Soul. He could only use the Divine Power of the Earth to firmly fix himself to the ground and rely on the powerful physique of the Nine Revolutions True Dragon Body to withstand the punch.
With a loud "bang!", even the Divine Power of the Earth could not withstand the immense force of the Titan Giant Ape. After a three-second stalemate, Qi Ling was still sent flying by a punch from the Titan Giant Ape, crashing headfirst into the forest and breaking several trees in succession.
"Whew~ That was a satisfying punch!" The Titan Giant Ape said, retracting its fist with satisfaction.
